Sanskrit Name - Translation and Meaning

Ustrasana
  • "Ustra" - Camel, "Asana" - Posture
  • Ustrasana epitomizes sustainability and the power to move forward and expand, even when you've been "cut off at the knees." The finished posture resembles the humped back of a camel and we are encouraged to learn from the Camel, which represents determination. The camel teaches us to stay on our course and to have faith and trust in the outcome. Camels accomplish things that seem impossible, and ultimately, this posture pushes for these values and teaches us to confront our fears and to find strength to sustain ourselves.
